Pioneers in industrial woodWe have been providing high quality, water-based and environmentally friendly surface treatments to the industrial wood industry for over 70 years.

Our coatings are designed to keep your products looking their best year after year. All our coatings have been created to meet a wide range of process and end use requirements from spray, dip tank, flow coat or brush applications. They can also be cured in ambient or forced conditions.

We carefully select the best and most appropriate products from our extensive group portfolio to ensure our coatings offer optimum performance for the UK market. Our high quality products have been developed to help timber withstand the harshest climates and protect it from UV-light, rain, humidity and extreme temperatures.

Our specialist knowledge of industrial applications means we can also assist with the selection and training of most types of application equipment required to apply our coatings.

Pioneers in industrial woodWindows and doorsWhatever the combination of timber species, colour or application method, we have a system that enables you to create a lasting andattractive finish.

In addition to traditional joinery we also offer coatings for composite wood and aluminium wood windows and doors. Developed to target key requirements of manufacturers, we use quality binders which keep yellowing and discolouration to a minimum - a key consideration for white or translucent finishes.

CladdingWorking in partnership with some of the UK’s largest cladding manufacturers such as Lathams

and Timbmet, we provide a wide selection of single pack systems for application by spray, brush machine, or vacuum coaters, for a semi or fully finished end product.

ConservatoriesWith an almost limitless selection of opaque and translucent colours, our coatings allow a new conservatory to blend in with the existing building and its surroundings whilst weather-proofing the timber.

Kitchens and interior joineryFrom kitchen units to furniture, we have a bespoke selection of water based internal products with excellent sanding and adhesive properties to provide a superior finish.

Our coatings help you to control the inherent properties of different timbers. They help to minimise discolouration, maximise durability and protect against problems such as blue stain and surface mould.

Paint with pride

State of the art technology enables us to significantly reduce particle sizes of pigments and binders, resulting in improved flow, penetration and saturation.
